Aimee,
re Absent reflexes~ this is considered a definate neurological sign, which can be indicative of nerve root compression.

Crossover pain occurs when straight raising of the patient's well limb elicits pain in the leg with sciatica. Crossover pain is a stronger indication of nerve root compression than pain elicited from raising the straight painful limb.

So what's the plan now? I hope whatever it is, your pain is alleviated soon!

I've been going thru a massive flareup the last few days and I feel 200 years old!

Hope you're feeling better soon~
